Fined the Wrong Man.

Yesterday VIM. III. Helsley, of
Iona was arrraigned in Justice Hal.
stead court charged with assault and
battery upon the person of Henry
Hunt of the same place, he plead guilty
and was fined so and costs, though
the evidence, so far as learned shows
he had strong provOcation for his act.
Hunt was not present at the trial Ow.
ingthe fact that he is wanted upon a
more serious charge growing out of
the same affair, but managed to
slip the constable's hand when arrest
ed at the same time with Halsley.
1t seem that Hunt had openly
charged Halsley with crime against
nature, and when Halsley met him he
proceeded to give him a drubbing and
Hunt thereupon swore out warrant
charging Halsley with assault and
battery. Hearing of this HalsIey
eountered by swearing out an infor-
nation, charging Hunt with malicious
and criminal SANDER, Halsley has
taken his medicine and Hunt will get
his when he is hunted up.

A VillainOus Scheme.

The Kansas City Star mentions the
fact that a prominent government
official" is busying himself securing
signatures for "A protest against cap
ital removal, and has received large
number OF names IN that city. It is
hardly magnanimous in Kansas City
to endeavOr to iDjure Sedalia in any
way; but If she so desires she will
only have to accept the consequences
of her folly. 1t is, however, likely
that Kansas City is not lending her
self to any great extent to such
work, but the BAzoo desires TO call
the attention of the papers and
the people of Kansas, City to the fact,
for which the BAZoo has positive
proof that the government official"
is hiring agents whom he pays at the
rate of three cents per name to make
up these remOnstrances. The grave
yards and the old city directors will
probably supply the most of the names
to these petitions. If Kansas City
does not desire to bear the onus of
the expose must follow let her people
at once set down upon such villainy.
The BAzOO will pay Its respects to
the prominent government officials
his aids, agents and schemers in the
very near future.

A Pill Peddler.

l.. B. Bayner, who was arrested
last Saturday for peddling patent
medicines without a license, had q
hearing yesterday before Justice
Fisher, which resulted in his being
fined SO and costs. amounting to
go. so in all. The fine was paid by a
Mr.. Brown, with whom Bayner is
stopping. and whose wife firmly be
lieves Bayner's ministrations and
medicines saved her life. Bayner
claims to have peddled his medicines
all over the United States and says
he was never before asked for a license
or arrested. He claims to be the pro-
prietOr of three extensive laboratories
engaged in the manufacture of his
cure all, but his story is worse than
fshy, considering his seedy and
moneyless condition. After his tale
was told, Attorney Lamm made up
his mind that he had made mistake
in not charging him with practicing
medicine without a diploma or license,
but concluded to let the matter rest
as it was for the present.

ALVEY Racket.

The people of the LOngwoOd neigh
borhood are evidently much in need
of Salvation Army. Last Sunday
at Henry Morgans, some three miles
northwest of Longwood, the cuons
held a candy pulling and picnic
which in the outcome double dis
counted anything "Muldoon" ever
dreamed of. For time all went well
but as the candy began to climb the
curly craniums of the crazy coens
they became boisterOus, then beiger-
ent, then brutal; knives, razors, pistols
and clubs were displayed, and soon
there was general melee with every
man for himself and the devil for
all. The outcome was one woman
dangerously stabbed, one buck beaten
to jelly and number of minor casu-
alities. As yet no arrests have been
but the chances are that
when attorney Lamm hears of the
matter he will not be able to sleep
nights until he has the evil doors safe
In the clutches of the law.
